Systems and methods for transcribing user interface elements of a game application into haptic feedback

This invention describes a system to provide vibrational feedback to players based on what's happening in a video game. Specifically, it takes text that appears within the game, converts that text into Morse code, and then translates the Morse code into distinct haptic (vibrational) sequences that a player can feel. This allows players to receive information from in-game text through touch.

Why it matters: The capabilities of haptic feedback hardware in game controllers have advanced since 2022, allowing for more nuanced and distinct Morse haptic sequences. Additionally, real-time computer vision improvements could now more reliably identify and extract in-game text from complex virtual environments.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, API integration, haptic mapping
